Marin wasn't sure what to do, though she didn't have time to think about it before she heard a female voice ahead of her; behind the vampire. Annoyed, the vampire released Marin and turned around. When he saw the second woman standing there with daggers, he smiled. It was a cocky smile, and a hungry one.

"Mmm, two human girls in one alley. How lucky is that?" he spoke, though barely audible as it was mostly to himself. He licked his lips at the hunter and took a few steps toward her. "You're awfully small, and female to be a hunter," he remarked, moving closer. "Put your daggers away and surrender your blood now, and I'll be very gentle," he said, smile widening as he stopped walking just out of arms reach from Adaline.

The vampire was overly arrogant, which would ultimately be his downfall. He reached out to take away one of the blades...

Meanwhile, Marin peered around the vampire with lapis lazuli colored orbs, worried. Why would this woman have interfered like that? She was endangering herself, for Marin. It wasn't right. She would surely be killed, and for what reason? To protect a homeless nobody with no memory of her life?

She looked down at her bare feet, incredibly saddened. If she had just stayed in the diner, like she should have. Then this wouldn't be happening. She reached up to clutch the pendant around her neck. Why? Why was she called out here? Why was this woman risking her life for her? Why couldn't she remember who she was!?

The pair had begun to fight, and Marin couldn't bear it. "Stop, please!" she said, stepping forward, bare feet padding through puddles of grime and God only knows what. She reached out for the vampire, hoping to place herself between them.

"You can have it," she said, somewhat confidently. "My blood," she clarified, offering her wrist. She let go of him. "If you, if you promise to go away and leave us alone then...". She didn't much care what actually happened to her, but she certainly couldn't let something awful happen to this stranger who had tried to stand up for her. It just wasn't right.

((Feel free to take full control of the vampire at will. You can kill him off however and whenever you'd like Ever_After!))
